Check it out: Here’s the latest Kickstarter project I decided to back, Dawn Brown‘s House of Monsters. Bringing back the stop motion fun of Ray Harryhausen and Mad Monster Party, Dawn – a Hollywood-based set decorator/concept artist – is planning an animated web series using the characters from her S/T 2012 short.

There’s a pretty cool buzz surrounding the project, with Kickstarter adding some funds – how’s that for an endorsement! – and USA Today recently plugged it in an article. The campaign is roughly 60% funded with less than two weeks left, so head on over and show your support! $50 gets you a pretty kick-ass t-shirt!

News via TMZ as well as USA Today and local papers report that veteran actor Larry Hagman passed away on Friday afternoon after battling cancer for some time. His family later released a statement that he passed peacefully and surrounded by loved ones – as he had wished.

Larry started out in 60s tv-series I Dream of Jeannie and may have become iconic portraying JR Ewing in soap opera Dallas, but me I’ll always remember the guy as the director of the 1972 sequel Son of Blob aka Beware! The Blob. Wanna check out the trailer?
